    Circuit breakers for 200 amps
    Can I divide 250 amps panels to two. And how? How many circuit breakers can the 250 a panel have?

    Thanks.

    You use a subpanel. Number of breakers depends on the calculated load. You may be only able to put in a small number depending on what you plan to hook up. A qualified electrician should be able to help you with this.
